When two Paleo puppies come together the main topics are either sports or food. My friend Susanne and I were taking the Tung Chung line home together, happily drinking our well deserved post workout shakes. I can pretty much pride myself that Susanne has been Paleo converted by me, and we regularly exchange links and recipes on Facebook.

On our ride home Susanne told me that although she reacts sensitive to milk products, she seems to be fine with butter and hard cheeses. I'm always eager to add variety to my food and was also contemplating adding butter back into the mix.

I remembered one of Robb Wolf's older podcast in which his former co-host Andy Deas mentioned that with grass-fed butter he does not have any digestive issues he usually has with normal butter. The brand he was referring to was Kerrygold which actually was announced best butter in the analysis study of the Giesen University.

Being the Paleo produce geek, right after listening to that podcast I checked if Kerrygold was available in Hong Kong. Unfortunately it was not. But after my talk with Susanne I quickly popped by my local Taste supermarket and took a closer look at their butter selection. And lo and behold, Lory Martin spots her brand.

Like Kerrygold Westgold Butter, a Westland Milk Products brand, was wrapped in golden foil. I got out my phone and did a quick Google search and following result came up:

"Westgold butter is produced from New Zealand fresh cream of the highest quality, made from grass-fed cow‘s milk. It has a traditional characteristic butter flavour, along with the ideal mouth-feel and texture, making Westgold butter perfect for bakery, spreads and mixed oil products."

Booyah! Immediately bought a 250 g pack of the unsalted kind (HKD 21, good price me thinks) and the first deed this morning was to whip up scrambled eggs for the lucky hubster. Oh, they smelled delicious. I could not resist and had a bite. Guess what I'm having for lunch ^_^.

Yeah, sadly that's true. Prices for butter is rising... Good quality dairy in general. I've spotted Kerry Gold butter at 61 HKD! Ouch. "Primarily grassfed" could mean that during the winter months the producer need to supplement the cowfeed with grain if not enough hay could been harvested during summer. Most grass-fed cow butters are "less grass-fed" during winter season. Reminder: For AUS and NZ winter is during the summer season of the Northern hemisphere including HK.
